Using Twitter & the Bible from your phone… in church?
May 4th, 2009
After seeing this article on Time.com, some discussions started breaking out here and there. I saw someone tweet about this and said that they don’t believe people should use Twitter in church. Others have even said that using the Bible apps to read the Bible in church instead of using paper Bibles is somehow wrong.
The interesting thought, is why would we be “distracted” from the fact that someone in our row would be reading the Bible from their phone instead of a hardcopy of the Good Book? Or the fact that a worship leader or teacher / speaker would be reading from their phone? Should it matter if we speak these words of life from a screen or from a page?
On the Twitter topic, I actually enjoy reading some of the friends I follow on Twitter while they are at church. Some great insights can be shared in real time. Personally, I do tend to use my iPhone app to read the Bible on and off stage. However, I don’t tweet very often during service times. But, I have & will when my pastor brings a point that I want the world to see/ hear.
This could be some good and fun convo if you all will help. SO, what do you all think?
